The present paper aims to contribute to the debate about the use of digital marketing and relationship marketing tools for travel sales, and their respective reflexes in the customers preferences by virtual or classical sales channels of airlines tickets in Brazil. Therefore, it was applied a survey with 80 regular customers from domestic flights. It was identified that most of the respondents tend to buy their tickets into virtual sales channels, mainly in those that are better organized and offer the best rates.
